Microsoft’s dual-screen Android phone wasn’t exactly a hit, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that Microsoft tried something else. Windows Central Sources in the report pointed out that Microsoft has halted development of the dual-screen Surface Duo 3, which was originally slated to launch later this year, and has instead designed a “real” foldable-screen phone. The detailed specs are here. still a mystery, but will roughly match Vivo X Fold or Galaxy Z fold Thus, the design of an internal screen with an external screen is adopted. However, Microsoft seems to have yet to decide on the time to market of this product, which means that the chances of launching it later this year seem slim.
At the same time, Microsoft is also “exploring” other possible phone models, including more traditional phone styles. In terms of software, Microsoft is also promoting the concept of “Perfect Together”, which makes the Surface Phone and Windows Phone more closely integrated, similar to the relationship between iPhone and Mac. This means that although Surface Duo is not ideal, Microsoft is not has lost faith in Android phones and is still considering other directions.
Although the Surface Duo series has an ultra-thin body and unique multi-tasking applications, the dilemma it faces is mainly its high unit price (up to USD 1,500), but its performance is not as good as other flagship phones, and there are there have always been some software problems that have not been resolved. After all, it’s a little worse when stacked with true foldable flagships like the Z Fold. If Microsoft can throw true. Foldable screen cell phones are at least more competitive in terms of endorsement, but it ultimately depends on the combination of its specifications and price, and whether it can appeal to consumers.
